More quotes by William P. Young
The enemy of a writer is not controversy but obscurity.
William P. Young
We've created a theology in the West of a God who is fundamentally self-centered. The imagery of God as distant, unapproachable, unreachable -- that's not a God who is relational. It is a God that gets to declare or judge when he gets pissed off. But there is no basis for love and relationships if God is a fundamentally self-centered being.
William P. Young
I think people are tired of religion and how it divides and damages people. You can name it whatever you want, Islam or Christianity, but if you have a system in which God is distant and angry all the time, and you're trying to please him through the right disciplines, it isn't going to work for everyone.
William P. Young
You are the root, and only God knows that the flower will be.
William P. Young
when I live in you, then together we can live through everything that happens to you.
William P. Young
I'm an accidental writer.
William P. Young
And when you learn, over the course of your life, that it's not about pleasing God, it's about learning how to trust God. That's a huge watershed, because trust is a whole different ballgame than appeasement or pleasing.
William P. Young
Love is much stronger than your fault could ever be.
William P. Young
Jesus was always challenging the dogma of religion. So, you know, it's not like I'm out there by myself.
William P. Young
It is so easy to get sucked into the if-only game, and playing it is a short and slippery slide into despair.
William P. Young
There is only one race ... and it is human!
William P. Young
When you chose independence over relationship, you became a danger to one another. Others became objects to be manipulated or managed for your own happiness. Authority as you usually think of it, is merely the excues the strone ones use to make others conform to what they want.
William P. Young
I think good creative writing opens up space for people to come into. Let God reach out and touch the human soul. That's not my job. I get to be present and create as much space as I can ... That frees me up just to be creative in the way I want to be.
William P. Young
I am especially fond of you.
William P. Young
...humans are not defined by their limitations, but by the intentions that I have for them not by what they seem to be, but by everything it means to be created in my image.
William P. Young
Truth will set you free. And Truth has a name.
William P. Young
...if anything matters then everything matters. Because you are important, everything you do is important. Every time you forgive, the universe changes every time you reach out and touch a heart or a life, the world changes with every kindness and service, seen or unseen, my purposes are accomplished and nothing will be the same again.
William P. Young
The 'will to power and independence' has become so ubiquitous that it is now considered normal.
William P. Young
I don't see the Father pouring out his wrath on the Son. I see the human race pouring out their wrath on the Son. So I see the only hope for the entire cosmos is what the Son chooses to accept, crawling upon the instrument of our greatest wrath. He met us at the deepest, darkest place.
William P. Young
Forgiveness in no way requires that you trust the one you forgive.
William P. Young
